Affordable headphone amp

[redeldo]

Hey everyone. Been a long time since I have posted anything. Have a request/question: I purchased a BackGroove turntable with built-in speakers and preamp, RCA output to speakers, headphone jack on the front. I didn't realize I needed an amp for the headphones but since I get little to no output to the headphones, guess I do need one. My phones are not expensive but sound ok with my poor hearing (

OneOdio Pro-30 Over Ear Headphone, Wired Premium Stereo Sound Headsets with 50mm Driver,)​

My question is what good headphone amp would work for me. I assume it would be RCA from the turntable to the amp, and the amps headphone jack to the headphone itself. I would prefer not to spend mucho bucks for one so my budget would be about $50+/-. Thanks for any suggestions you have.

i have a pair Schiit magni heritcs and am quite happy with them
for me there is no reason to look for anything else.
fot one setup i use a modi and a Schiit loki for the laptop and
for my reel to reel i use a Schiit magni heritc and a Schiit lokius
and to me they sound amazing.
i am using two pair of Beyerdynamic dt700's and they all ways
amaze me how open and detailed they are.

I have a douk audio u3 that's surprisingly good for the money. You would need a separate phono stage to run a turntable though.
